Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Intrathoracic schwannoma originating from intrathoracic vagus nerve

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
In differential diagnosis of posterior mediastinal mass should be included the intrathoracic vagus nerve tumor. Surgical excision of intrathoracic vagus nerve schwannoma is associated with a low recurrence rate and excellent long‐term results.

Development of the occipitopetrosal junctions: A histological study using human fetuses

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The temporal bone petrosa is connected to the occipital bone at two sites: one junction with the basilar part (medial junction) and another with the lateral part (lateral junction). Using histological specimens from 45 human fetuses (approximately 7–39 weeks of gestational age or GA), we aimed to describe possible changes in histology and ...
